Not that we're blaming the acting, we're just saying it would be a movie of cats in tuxedos drinking at parties. Can you even imagine all the shiny objects they would get distracted by? Cat flappers? Cats driving old-timey cars???? If you're having a hard time imagining all this, we made these posters of the 'Gatsby' cast as cats to help you along.

Well, you did it Baz Luhrmann. Even with an enormous budget, outrageous costumes, beautiful actors, native 3D and a camera that can fly around and do just about anything, you still made watching ‘The Great Gatsby‘ just as boring as sitting through 8th period English. To be fair, reading ‘The Great Gatsby’ isn’t boring. In [...]

It's nearly the summer season (at least for movies), so it's surprising how quiet 'The Great Gatsby' has been in selling itself. Sure, it's going to be opening the Cannes film festival, but it's not being sold as a tentpole summer event picture. Regardless, the film has released seven new clips to get us excited.

'The Great Gatsby' Gets an Official Release Date for May 2013!

Nick Romano — Thu, 20 Sep 2012 18:20:54 +0000

One of the most anticipated movies this year was supposed to be 'The Great Gatsby,' the F. Scott Fitzgerald novel adapted for the big screen and directed by Baz Lurhmann. That is, until Warner Bros. pulled the film's December release date -- where it was set to go up against 'The Hobbit' and 'Django Unchained' -- even after the studio already teased us with an incredible trailer featuring the glamorous-looking Leonardo DiCaprio all suited up.

We were then left in the dark when it was revealed the movie would be pushed back until next summer with no release date set in stone... until now! So, when will we officially get to see DiCaprio, Tobey Maguire and their fellow stars all dolled up for the screen?

'The Great Gatsby' May be Troubled

Damon Houx — Tue, 21 Aug 2012 03:00:17 +0000

When 'The Great Gatsby' moved from Christmas 2012 to Summer 2013, it didn't seem all that troubling. For one, star Leonardo DiCaprio had another picture opening the same day, and Warner Brothers has a big Oscar slate already ('Argo,' 'Cloud Atlas,' 'The Hobbit' to name a few). But the latest rumors suggest that the film is incomplete, and Warner Brothers won't pay for additional reshoots.

'The Great Gatsby' Teams With Brooks Brothers to Show You How to Steal DiCaprio's Swag

Nick Romano — Thu, 07 Jun 2012 16:13:35 +0000

As quickly as style-conscious men (including all of those documented in Morgan Spurlock's crazy new documentary 'Mansome') devoured 'Mad Men' for its overabundance of striped bow ties and fedoras, so too are they going after 'The Great Gatsby.' It turns out, though, that men don't have to look too far to copy Leonardo DiCaprio's suave swagger because it all came from Brooks Brothers.
